NetBSD and named: Error detected by libpthread: Invalid mutex

[Jeremy C. Reed]

This is with NetBSD/i386 -current (but not current :)

And with CVS HEAD of bind9 from today.

I built with --with-libxml2 --with-dlz-filesystem=yes --with-dlz-bdb=/usr/pkg

Running named immediately exits:

glacier:/usr/local/etc$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/named -g -d 1 
named: Error detected by libpthread: Invalid mutex.
Detected by file "/usr/src/lib/libpthread/pthread_mutex.c", line 334, 
function "pthread_mutex_unlock".
See pthread(3) for information.
Abort (core dumped) 

Here's the backtrace:

If I understand this correctly, some operating systems' threading 
implementations ignore the error of calling pthread_mutex_unlock() on a 
data area which is not a properly initialized mutex. But NetBSD doesn't 
allow it.

I didn't report this to bind9-bugs yet.

What type of research do you want me to do with this? (Do you want me to 
report to a NetBSD list instead?)
